Lower A arm removal
I finally lowered the front of the ZR-1. Wasn't too difficult. All the manuals call for removal of the right front lower A arm to remove the spring. Actually not required, I just removed the front bolt and loosened the rear enough to angle the arm enough to slip the spring out. Great except for if I do need to remove the arm, I can't see how it is done. The rear A arm bolt goes in from the rear and it cannot be removed completely as the K member is in the way.
Anyone ever figured this puzzle out without cutting the bolt and reinstalling from the front? :crazy:

Re: Lower A arm removal (FC2000)
I have removed the lower A-arm both on both sides without cutting or removing anything. Its a tight fit, but doable.
The other option is to remove the x-brace that is toward the rear of the car. Couple bolts. No problem.
Hope this helps.
